GARDAI are investigating an opportunistic theft which occurred in a Limerick village during broad daylight.

According to gardai, the victim - a lady in her mid-forties was leaving a shop in Adare village last Wednesday (May 25) just before 6pm when the incident occurred.

her wallet aside while she picked up her items. She was a little flustered and embarrassed but when she returned to her car she realised she did not have her wallet," explained divisional crime prevention officer Sergeant Ber Leetch.
